Love to do that once I get it up and running and hopefully the batch of ordered barrels are at the exporters now. All the work is done , stock is sitting here and it may only be 4 to 6 weeks away. TT has his wicked 30/378 up to the task and is working on the 338/378 with a new V port vapouriser. Testing that Vport on the big girl tomorrow!

Ping us a picture of your last big one as news travels fast in the LRH arena.

What do you edge shooters shoot at most of the time? I,m keen to build up a 338 Edge as well for some long range plinking, (just at rocks and so on, nothing exotic). It sounds like there are a few long range shooters from NSW here, do you have to far from home to get a shot away?

MMM rock plinking.. thats good practice but I'm not sure you need an Edge for that.
Dont get me wrong its a brilliant cartridge but a well built 7mm will do that with some of the new high BC bullets.

I'm just throwing options out there as I'm not sure how much experience you have. Going up to the 338 Ultras is another level and you will need deeper pockets. But hey if it rocks your boat do it.. A good brake will calm it and its a must.

Do you have a magnum bolt face Rem 700 action to use as a donor? Or are you going a full custom action.. It never ends and barrel quality and spec is something also critical to fine acuracy. Of course add another 2G for some decent optics to start you out.

I must ring Aron to see how he is going with my old Edge I hear he has had joy with it already. Now he knows what I mean about a quality build. Prove is way out there!

We hunt sambar and other deer with them but generally we set up in wide pen places and just shoot to test our skill. Some range work..which will lead you sometime later to F class..
It never ends!

I;m still waiting on a new action for my next LR build... 7mm Dakota no expense spared But geez I miss the Edge...something about a 300gn pill!

Signiture, I did a bit of F class last year with a 284 and it is usualy my 284 F class rifle I have used for long range plinking, Ive used the same gun for target competition out to 1500yds where it went OK, still gaining experience though. My work roster means I cant do as much target shooting as I would like, so playing in the bush is my other option.

I dont have a donor action yet, but want to build a 257 hunting rifle, most likely by rebarreling a 2nd hand hunting rifle. The 338 switch barrel would be the fun plinking one, just for **** and giggles, just coz I can. I agree, using one of my 7mm ex target barrels would be cheaper, but I dont have a big caliber toy in the closet anymore.
